Jason assumed that his fusion with Petri would only sustain for around three minutes.
As such, he didn't hesitate and attacked the closest opponent without wasting any time.
The Floating sky technique was fully utilized, and his speed reached a horrifying degree, while his physical strength was more than enough to finish off the opponents in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, Jason could only smile lightly as he looked at the Klarir whom he had punched into the wall.
While looking at his hand that had fused into a reptile-like claw, the excitement within him ignited.
Jason had always thought that the human race was weak, that the only advantage was their soul world and the amplification they received.
However, that was wrong because he had just begun to realise that mankind had yet to figure out how profound the soul world truly was.
He knew that his connection with his soulbonds was becoming stronger at a rapid pace, which was mainly owing to the Celestia race's innate amity with all kinds of beasts.
As such, he assumed that he was the first one to figure out that the soul world was so profound.
This was exhilarating, not only for Jason, but also for the human powerhouses and even more so for the God's children, who realised what Jason was doing!
"Another fusion!"? Betty mumbled, only for the others to nod their head.
Their eyes were glimmering in excitement and it was almost as if Jason was setting a path for them to walk upon.
It looked like he was paving the way forward while showing what the human race was capable of!
Since the foreign races had attacked, and almost enslaved the human race, the citizens and even some members of big clans had lost their spark and will to get back on their feet.
They lived in constant fear thinking that it wouldn't take long before the foreign races would return.
At the same time, everyone realised that they were too weak, which was mostly owing to the book Jason had released.
In the beginning, only a few people had believed his words, but that had changed with time because it was evident that Jason didn't lie to them.
As such, upon realising the truth, most citizens began to fear the future.
Because of this, the things Jason did right now were more important to God's children, the present human powerhouses, and entire mankind!
Their future was not bleak and they had many things to discover, allowing them to become much stronger than they were used to be!
Jason's Celestia aura that had merged with the stigmas was visible above his right eye and was slowly changing, taking on the aura of a wild beast, as he turned towards the next opponent.
The wild aura he released radiated a distinct suppression, it was completely different to the one Jason had comprehended by himself.
Owing to this aura, the participants, let alone the spectators, couldn't believe that the being in front of them was a mere human and not an ancient being that had awoken from its hibernation.
Petri was a basilisk in Jason's opinion, and the aura of the serpent king seeped into the wild aura, slowly changing it, allowing Jason to dominate everything in his surrounding, reigning supreme in his proximity.
Not wasting his precious time, Jason pushed his feet from the ground as he appeared in front of the second opponent.
It was one of the strongest prodigies from the Lizr race that were also called Lizardman and was at the 9th Lique stage.
Yet, instead of paying any attention to the Lizr's cultivation base, Jason stared into the young man's reptilian eyes, which held traces of reverence before the petrification curse and race specific weakening curse kicked in.
This distracted the Lizr further, giving Jason more than enough time to slash out with his razor-sharp claw-like hands, inflicting severe injuries as they cut through the thick scales covering the Lizr's body.
They were not lethal, but strong enough to weaken his opponent's combat prowess which was more than enough for Jason, who spun around, using his five-meter-long tail to lash at the Lizr race's prodigy.
He was still able to fight, but Jason hadn't planned to render his opponent weak and powerless either way.
In the next three minutes he had to decrease his opponents' combat prowess as much as possible, preventing them from gaining an advantage over each other, or even himself once the fusion would wear off!
Jason was not even sure how exhausted he would be once the fusion with Petri were to end.
As such, he could only give his best while barely stopping Petri's primal instincts from killing everyone who blocked his path.
This was more difficult than Jason had expected as Petri's fusion felt a lot different than Artemis', who was rather gentle and not driven by her wild instincts.
In Jason's opinion, Artemis may be a predator, but her nature was incomparable to Petri, who seemed to be more of an emotionless killing machine than Jason had expected his youngest soulbond to become.
Nevertheless, this was something one required sometimes and it was perfectly suitable for Jason as he was required to kill mercilessly in certain situations.
By binding a soulbond to the soul world, not only did one receive an amplification in strength, inherit someone's affinity, but in Jason's case, his instincts, reflexes, and behavior were also influenced.
The same applied the other way around and the stigma was one sign of this as well as the deep connection.
While Jason used his unparalleled speed, the others didn't remain idle.
The seven races that were left in the arena gathered together in their own groups, preparing against the bull-like charge of Jason.
Yet, the moment Jason charged into the groups of participants, they realised that his charge was even more horrific than expected.
He had just entered the Klarir's small group of prodigies, where he wreaked havoc, not minding the highly corrosive poison that was flung at him.
His entire black body that was covered with golden vein-like threads was crumbling apart, as the corrosion took effect, but Jason seemed to completely ignore it.
With the subconsciously released curses Petri harbored, he weakened his opponents, only to use his superior strength to inflict severe, yet not lethal injuries, weakening the Klarir's strongest prodigies while taking out the weaker ones.
Only half a minute passed before Jason emerged out of the group of injured Klarirs who had no energy to fight back. He calmly advanced to the next group acting as if nothing happened.
It was only when he entered the next group of opponents, made up of the Lizr that a few higher ups couldn't help but squint their eyes as they looked intently at Jason.
Everyone watched the entire battle royale that was filled with more tension and excitement than the spectators had expected to witness after the changes had been implemented.
Even Wisse, who had been lamenting about his precious time being wasted to watch the tournament as per his master's wish, couldn't help but feel that he was witnessing a miracle!
His focus was solely on Jason, and he told himself that he had to do something about this youth.
He was way too talented to let his natural combat awareness, unique traits, let alone the origin flame, and the ability to use the chaos attribute, go to waste.
